Simon emerges from the jungle with the secret of the beast, and then they boys kill him, just as the LOTF predicted.

10. Write a STRONG BODY PARAGRAPH about who is responsible for Simon’s
death and why.

I blame evil in general for causing Simon's death. Evil caused the LOTF to talk to Simon in a vision, I blame the devil for tempting Simon to go up the mountain to discover what the beastie really was, and I blame the group for killing Simon. The Lord of the Flies says to Simon they will all do you in if you reveal the truth about the beast, thus making Simon curious as to what the beastie really is. Evil also prompts the boys to brutally murder Simon, by getting them in a savage mood so that when they see Simon crawling along the outskirts of the jungle, they think he's the beastie so they kill him. In conclusion, evil in general is the cause of Simon's death. What else would prompt an innocent human being to be killed? Pure evil.
